Geeze, Alex, that's so cleverly Swiss of you. Heh. Keyword of yours: "if" -- you're in the dark it seems, but come on, be a mensch and ASK RICK FOR US what in the hell he's being shy about. YOU HAVE EASY ACCESS AND INTIMACY. RICK'LL LAY IT OUT TO YOU. His new hired gun is pissing off half the party goers, and why the stressin' on us? We'd love a report from you about Rick's response. Or, tell us you're management and are part of a circling of the wagons, and hey, maybe I'll understand, but no I won't cuz I'm being a dick about this issue. Gotta be consistent. You fer or agin us? Take a stand. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <geezerfreak@...> wrote : Alex: Regardless of how folks feel about Turq, moderation should be carried out transparently, and not in a secret, undefined manner. So far, this experiment with Doug as moderator is starting to remind me of when Rick put an Amma fanatic in charge of moderating the Amma free speech group, with the end result being the loss of free speech and the creation of the Amma Real Free Speech group. Me: 100% agree Alex. I looked in late last week as part of my once-every-few-months look and was appalled to see what is going on. Turq was ALWAYS an interesting and entertaining poster, only rivaled by Curtis IMO. And now this guy Buck/Doug is running roughshod on the group deciding who is 'on program' and who is not? Fuck that, that is EXACTLY the kind of TMO bullshit that drove me from the organization in the first place. Rick, you once told me that Doug was "really a great guy" when I complained about his Buck persona to you privately years ago. I'm not in a position to know what kind of guy he is, great or otherwise, but he is so clearly a fucking joke of a moderator. Seriously, Rick are you kidding me? Unless you yourself have gone insane I refuse to believe you think Doug is the man for this job. Say it ain't so Rick!
